I was reading some old philatelic books on the Internet Archive and came across two titles from the late 1970s, both by C.E. Foster. Showcasing your stamp collection
How to Prepare Stamp Exhibits
I see them both on ebay and they look like fun. I love the old pre-personal computer, pre-internet era books and both of these would have come out just before PCs changed the game for collectors. Both look like they were printed on an old IBM computer printer, for one thing.
Does anyone have a copy in your library? I'd love some thoughts and opinions before I start calculating ebay shipping costs.

arrived today. The Storch and Francon book appears to have been rebound in hardcover- (all previous ones I have seen are softbound) the enierior does not appear to be a reprint/copy. I need more shelf space (eyeing the US and UN binders..... they may need to get boxed up!)

A new arrival. It’s bilingual, fortunately! To me, Finnish is a tough language to learn - it’s not even in the Indo-European language family if I’m not mistaken.

Just received this thanks to a friend from Colnect. New 2024 Specialized Catalogue for Yugoslavia from World Stamps Project. Published in Slovenia, bilingual in English and Slovene. Very detailed with lots of plate flaws, overprint flaws etc, especially for the 1918-1921 regional issues.

After a quick perusing of the thread, I could find no reference to any of edition of this catalogue, 'Scott-First-Day-Cover-Catalogue-and-Checklist'
If anyone has a copy, please do share...
Thanks and happy collecting!
